General Election 2010: Final leaders’ debate

The General Election 2010 draws nearer and tomorrow evening (Thursday) sees the final live televised leaders’ debate, this time broadcast on the BBC between 8:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. It will be hosted by David Dimbleby and held this time around in the Midlands.

According to the telegraph.co.uk there are strict rules surrounding the debates, 76 in all, including a time limit for Nick Clegg, David Cameron and Gordon Brown to answer each question. Although opinions differ Nick Clegg has been acknowledged as ‘winning’ the first 2 debates. The Liberal Democrats have certainly benefited from his performance, and the 3 main parties are now all extremely close in the polls.

The last of the leaders’ debates will focus on the economy and the leaders will all have one minute to give an opening statement. It’s David Cameron’s turn to start tomorrow evening and after the opening statements the leaders will then begin to take questions.
